Each Fortune conference — from Brainstorm Green, Brainstorm Tech, the Most Powerful Women Summit, and the Global Forum — yields fascinating conversations with the best and brightest minds in business.

Fortune wants to make it even easier for you to eavesdrop. The weekly Fortune Brainstorm podcast features recorded conversations from Fortune’s live events.

In this week’s installment, actor and writer Lena Dunham — creator of Girls (which just wrapped up its second season on HBO) — takes center stage with CNN’s Soledad O’Brien. Recorded at last year’s Most Powerful Women Summit, Dunham discusses the (other) women in her life, how artists also function as small business owners, her critics, and her career. Don’t worry: No spoilers.
